Yay, so glad! Amazing how many local orgs welcome help from little kiddos. I've had this on my to-do list for a while now and now I just need to pick something and try it out as a family. I'm thinking we'll start with the Library Fair in Aug, and maybe sign up for a beach cleanup. What about you?
This is INCREDIBLE! What a resource! I’m going to keep referring back to this one to include more volunteering in our family rhythms. Thank you so much for putting this together, and for the idea to delve into this topic!
You’re welcome! I was just telling a friend that this whole project was eye-opening because I just assumed most volunteer opps were for middle schoolers and up. Now I know!
Love this❣️

I similarly was drawn to the beach cleanup but it looks like they're done until the fall?? But I'm bookmarking this for September and future use!
You’re right! Looks like May 10 was the last cleanup for the season. I’ll email them and see if/when they’re going to release their Fall dates!
BTW I was just searching volunteernewyork.org and love that you can search by “age of volunteer.” So many upcoming opps listed.

Thanks Katie!
Thank you for putting together such an in-depth roundup of important local groups to support. A great resource to have.
